If you're like most people, being truly happy is something you think you'll do "later" - you know, when things change and you finally get your "dream life".
Unfortunately, though, "later" never seems to roll around. Because you have all of these preconceived notions about what you need in order to be happy, you miss out on enjoying other things you should!
If you're waiting for "later" - and wishing you could just be happy right now - you can be. All you have to do is follow these 3 tips:
1. Make gratitude a major part of your daily life.
When's the last time you were truly grateful for something? How good did it make you feel? Wouldn't it be nice to have that feeling every day?
OK, so you might not get engaged every day or get to find out you're pregnant every day. However, even little things can make you feel incredibly grateful. It's up to you to make the most out of them!
By focusing more on what you DO have (instead of what you DON'T have), you'll find it's easier to be grateful for even the littlest of things. As a result, you'll get to have that good feeling all the time - and you'll be a much happier person!
2. Stop and smell the roses.
If you constantly feel rushed and disorganized, you're never going to feel happy. If you want to experience true happiness, you've got to take some time away from the office, away from the phone calls, and away from the emails and get some "me time".
Start today by taking a walk, reading a chapter from your favorite book, listening to your favorite band, or taking a warm bubble bath. None of these things have to take very long, but they're crucial to how you feel about your life. Without them, you'll never be truly happy!
3. Enjoy the ride.
Oftentimes, people are unhappy because they're so fixated on the end result they don't appreciate everything that gets them there. The truth is - every time you do something that gets you closer to your ultimate goal (no matter how small), you're making progress. If you can learn to enjoy those milestones, you'll be a much happier person. As an added benefit, the end result will be even sweeter when you take note of everything that went into it along the way!
Above all else, remember happiness is a choice. Sure, there are always going to be things in life that make you temporarily unhappy, but it's up to you to prevent those things from taking over your life. If you want to be happy, choose to be that way - every day!
